Well, Marty's ours and we're keeping him. "How you doing Marty?" :-)

Another "shout out" goes to Marco Leon. I never get to see your posts
anymore unless someone quotes you, or I whip over into Google Groups
and find you there. It's that Supernews? Superfeed? problem. I'm
missing someone else, too - can't remember who at the moment.

Supernews. They are blocking Marco's news service.

I have been pursuing this through my own ISP, and have gotten basically
the same brick wall Peter got, just from the other side. My ISP has
attempted to get a comment from Supernews about the issue, and Supernews
keeps stonewalling them. The abuse department doesn't return email or
phone calls, and the technical department hides behind "we can't comment
due to privacy concerns" crap.

Personally, I think it's a load of crap, and I'm disgusted with my own
ISP for putting up with the load of crap rather than switching news
providers. But I also suspect that there's some validity to whatever
reason it is that Newsfeeds is being blocked, based on some of what I've
read about them on the news service review web sites.

I'm disappointed that there are some people whose posts I can't see, but
not so much that I'm motivated to jostle my existing Internet service.
I don't see hordes of other people dropping Supernews, so I guess for
now I'll console myself with "no one else is doing it".

I was the one that originally brought this issue up in this group.
Apologies for it being so off topic, but it obviously affects more
than just me.

I've continued to press the issue in Supernews' support groups when
I can, like recently when someone else ran into the problem. Of course,
Supernews stays quiet, and other readers of the support group continue
to take pot shots at me. I was even called "altruistic", as if that was
a bad thing!

I had found some information about Newsfeeds that really paints them
in a bad light. Apparently they were a major source of spam at one
time. I do not know if this is still the case.

However, Supernews' attitude, that is, ignoring any questions on the
topic, is not justified. They have gladly helped me on other issues,
even through "improper" channels, and even discussed with me other
filters. The only reply I ever got about Newsfeeds was that it was not
their policy to discuss their filters. See the hypocrisy?

Anway, apologies again for this being so off topic. But I just feel
it's not good for those who actually pay for their NSP to have to put
up with crap like that.

Yes, I'm being altruistic.
